Chapter 257

Stelle: "That would naturally be the terrifying... Star-Crushing Swarm King!"

Firefly: "Uh..."

Firefly: "That is somewhat beyond one's expectations."

Firefly: "It seems Ms. Ruan Mei has done some incredible experiments."

Firefly: "Truly worthy of being a member of the Genius Society."

General Feixiao: "Speaking of which..."

General Feixiao: "I would like to ask Ms. Ruan Mei about someone."

General Feixiao: "Do you know... Miss Tingyun?"

Sister Yukong: "!!"

Sister Yukong: "General General Feixiao, what do you mean?!"

March 7th: "What?!"

March 7th: "Ting... Ms. Miss Tingyun?!"

March 7th: "General General Feixiao, has the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance found Ms. Miss Tingyun?!"

March 7th: "Is she still... alive?"

Stelle: "Shocking!"

Stelle: "Ms. Miss Tingyun finally has news?"

General Feixiao: "There are some leads..."

General Feixiao: "However, based on the situation at the scene... it is not that... optimistic."

March 7th: "Ah?!!"

March 7th: "Could it be... Ms. Miss Tingyun is still..."

March 7th: "That hateful Phantylia!!"

Furina: "Who is Ms. Miss Tingyun?"

Furina: "She seems very important to you all..."

Welt: "That is a long story."

Welt: "Simply put, when we first arrived at the Luofu, it was Ms. Miss Tingyun who guided us."

Welt: "But in the end, we discovered that the so-called Ms. Miss Tingyun was actually disguised by the Lord Ravager Phantylia."

Hu Tao: "Ah, this!!"

Hu Tao: "That means... Ms. Miss Tingyun might have already been... by the Lord Ravager!!"

Stelle: "That hateful Lord Ravager, they really are a bunch of heartless things!!"

Sister Yukong: "Sigh... Miss Tingyun, in the end..."

General Feixiao: "No need to be so pessimistic."

General Feixiao: "I found the place where Miss Tingyun encountered danger."

General Feixiao: "But I didn't find any traces of her."

General Feixiao: "Instead... I found traces of Ms. Ruan Mei."

March 7th: "What?"

March 7th: "Could it be that Ms. Miss Tingyun was successfully rescued by Ms. Ruan Mei?"

Ruan Mei: "Are you talking about a Foxian woman?"

Stelle: "Yes, yes, Miss Tingyun is a Foxian!"

Ruan Mei: "Hmm, then I do have an impression."

Ruan Mei: "Don't worry, perhaps when the time is right, she will appear before you again."

March 7th: "Really?!"

March 7th: "Yay!!"

Stelle: "Uh... the problem is... Miss Tingyun won't appear in some strange form, will she?"

Ruan Mei: "Hehe, you guess?"

Stelle: "Cough, cough... I... I'd better not guess."

Stelle: "I just hope Ms. Miss Tingyun won't turn into a bug..."

Stelle: "If she really has to change... let her turn into a Miss Tingyun pastry instead."

The video continues.

The scene shifts,

coming to Stelle.

At this moment, she is deep in thought.

【The meeting that decided the future of Penacony went much smoother than I imagined...】

【It ended with almost no debate.】

【The opening ceremony of the Charmony Festival should be starting soon, let's go to the scene and take a look.】

【Hmm... there are quite a few treasures on this airship, a fruitful harvest indeed...】

After pondering for a short while,

Stelle remembers that the Charmony Festival opening ceremony is about to begin,

so she heads to the scene.

And after walking for a while,

she sees Boothill talking to a projection of Aventurine.

【... on't forget, I can love you to death with one shot at any time.】

Boothill says with his arms crossed.

【That would truly be my honor... Rest assured, the thing I hate most is cheating at the gambling table.】

Aventurine spreads his hands,

laughing nonchalantly.

【Hmph... you'd better be.】

Boothill sees Aventurine's demeanor,

and snorts coldly.

【Look, who's here?】

【The great hero of the Astral Express, the most dazzling Miss Stelle in all of Penacony!】

Aventurine turns his head slightly,

seeing Stelle walking toward them,

and a smile appears on his face.

【Yo, you're here too?】

【Long time no see, friend.】

Boothill also sees Stelle,

and immediately greets her.

Furina: "Why did Mr. Boothill team up with Mr. Aventurine?"

Furina: "Weren't they at each other's throats before, ready to love-to-death at the slightest disagreement?"

Hu Tao: "It seems... they just happen to have a common goal?"

Stelle: "Oswaldo, they both want to kill that guy."

Stelle: "So they must have formed a temporary alliance."

March 7th: "But come to think of it, why didn't Mr. Aventurine come to the Radiant Feldspar in person?"

March 7th: "Instead, like Silver Wolf, he set up a holographic projection."

Silver Wolf: "Can his projection compare to mine?"

Silver Wolf: "His is just an ordinary holographic projection."

Silver Wolf: "Unlike me, who can come and go without a trace."

Miss Qingque: "Haha, maybe he has a shadow from coming into the dream in person."

Miss Sushang: "Indeed, being slashed by that terrifying blade before was just like the most horrible nightmare!"

The video continues.

【How come you're standing with the IPC, cowboy?】

Stelle asks with some curiosity,

seeing Boothill and Aventurine standing side by side.

【This guy... is related to a certain cutie I'm tracking.】

【How does that saying go?】

【The enemy of my enemy is my friend.】

【Forget it, let's put the shady stuff aside for now, don't ruin the atmosphere of the Charmony Festival.】

Boothill shakes his head,

not saying much more about the matter.

【I agree.】

【Then let us congratulate Miss Stelle.】

【I heard the Family is going to properly thank you Express crew members at the Charmony Festival.】

【Sigh, it's a pity I can't be there in person.】

Aventurine says with feigned regret.

【Aventurine, you really made a hasty exit.】

Thinking of what happened before,

Stelle teases.

【My mission was just to tear open a gap for the IPC to enter the game.】

【Not to mention anything else, as far as this matter is concerned, I feel I did a pretty good job.】

【When you were lingering in the Dreamflux Reef, I was actually nearby.】

【Thanks to a knowledgeable friend, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to dig up so much dirt.】

【It's just that that Emanator used a bit too much force... My body couldn't hold on for long, otherwise this matter could have been settled more cleanly.】

Stelle: "Hahaha, dying of laughter, 'used a bit too much force'."

Stelle: "Deep resentment from Aventurine toward Ms. Acheron."

Miss Qingque: "Is it possible... that was already a very, very small amount of force?"

Miss Qingque: "It's just that Mr. Aventurine still couldn't handle it?"

Guinaifen: "Definitely!"

Guinaifen: "Look at that final slash from Ms. Acheron, it even split the Dream of Tayzzyronth!"

Guinaifen: "If that slash had landed on Mr. Aventurine, he would have been gone on the spot!"

Furina: "I feel like if Ms. Acheron didn't have concerns and didn't dare to go all out..."

Furina: "She could probably have buried the entire Penacony by herself."

March 7th: "I can only say that the power of Nihility is truly terrifying."

The video continues.

【Haha.】

【Cowboy, thank you for stepping in during the final battle.】

Stelle smiles at Aventurine,

and then thanks Boothill.

【Ha, small matter.】

【Punishing evil and promoting good is the top priority; it would be strange if we weren't there.】

【After that little stunt earlier, we Galaxy Rangers can be considered to have come out of retirement again.】

【You'll probably meet quite a few Hunt comrades on the road in the future, please say hello for me.】

Lumine: "So the Galaxy Rangers are considered to have come out of retirement?"

Paimon: "Yay!!"

Paimon: "From now on, the bad guys in the universe definitely won't dare to be so rampant!"

Welt: "Hmm... after the news of the Galaxy Rangers' comeback spreads, it will be able to deter some vicious villains."

Welt: "The atmosphere of the universe will also become a bit better."

Stelle: "Tsk, Boothill, looking forward to you Galaxy Rangers continuing to do some earth-shattering things."

Stelle: "Best to make the scum of the universe tremble!"

Boothill: "Easy, easy."

Boothill: "Once we Galaxy Rangers get stronger, we'll go back to assassinating Lord Ravagers!"

Furina: "Ah, this..."

Furina: "Mr. Boothill, isn't this a bit rash?"

March 7th: "We also think it's rash; Lord Ravagers aren't that easy to kill..."

Boothill: "Hey, at least we have the experience of assassinating one now; next time, there definitely won't be such heavy losses!!"

Boothill: "Only then can we live up to the prestige of us Galaxy Rangers!"

The video continues.

【By the way... what were you two talking about just now?】

Stelle is a bit curious about what Boothill and Aventurine were talking about.

【Forget it, no need to beat around the bush, I'll just say it straight.】

【I have a grudge against an executive named Oswaldo Schneider, and this flashy guy can help me find him.】

Boothill has no intention of hiding anything,

explaining directly to Stelle.

【The feud between the Marketing Development Department and the Strategic Investment Department is known throughout the galaxy, but I really didn't expect that even the Galaxy Rangers would have a chance to be involved.】

【It seems... things are about to get interesting.】

Asta: "Flashy... this word is really very fitting for Mr. Aventurine."

Stelle: "Aventurine, can't you dress in a more low-key way?"

Stelle: "Why do you give people the feeling of a nouveau riche?"

Aventurine: "Ha?"

Aventurine: "My clothes are all custom-made."

Aventurine: "Luxurious and elegant, how is it like a nouveau riche?"

Dr. Ratio: "You are right."

Dr. Ratio: "But paired with your damn gambler temperament, it does indeed look like a stupid nouveau riche."

Stelle: "Look!"

Stelle: "Even the Professor says so!"

Aventurine: "This..."

Aventurine: "Temperament is not something I can change at will."

Aventurine: "Tsk, no matter."

Aventurine: "At worst, I'll just hire a famous designer to make me a few more outfits that fit my temperament."

Aventurine: "Anyway, it's just a matter of spending some money."

Aventurine: "Not a big deal."

March 7th: "Damn, solving everything with money!"

March 7th: "Is this the arrogance of the rich?"

The video continues.

【I see...】

【Alright then, I wish you both a good time at the festival.】

Stelle nods and says with a smile.

【Thanks, and I wish you a good time too, great hero of Penacony!】

Boothill replies.
